Title: Reier's DSL
Post by: Reier on September 16, 2008, 06:58:12 PM
Hey, I\'ve hade DSL for ~ 1 month and here are some bots I\'ve come up with.
Comments & Criticism are welcome. =)

Well, first is one of my best heavies, Mutant Dragonfly 2.
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/dragonfly.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/dragoninside.png)
3mm steel,
2 orange and 1 ant batt (I had like 7 kgs and needed to do somthing),
4 fast npc t64s,
2 70 kg hammers on pistons.

Here\'s a pic of it in battle vs. Smashbox 2.
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/smashed.png)

Thanks for looking, I\'ll be adding pictures on and off. =)
EDIT: Looks like I\'m going to enter a slightly updated M.D.3 in RAW!

wow. great start. you get the simplistic=better in DSL. looking forward to more.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 16, 2008, 07:41:08 PM
No lie, That is the BEST first bot I have ever seen anyone make as long as I have been here. (which isn't really that long)

I am guessing that it is Mutant Dragonfly 1 in the pic?
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 17, 2008, 02:04:59 AM
Really nice for a first bot. Few empty space, that's good.

What are the skirts on axles for, besides sticking to the name?

EDIT: if you find a good upgrade (perhaps like putting a front wedge, and titanium is more efficient than steel) you could enter Mutant Dragonfly 3 in RAW.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 17, 2008, 08:36:12 AM
Naryar: The skirts don't do a lot, but they can sort of hang up flippers if i'm lucky. (Not that it really matters, i'm invertible.) Yeah, I'll try to add titanium armor & a wedge on da front.
Somebody: Yeah, that's Dragonfly 1 in the pic, the wings act as stabalizers so I wont get flipped. I took them out later when I realized it could go upside down.
I'll probably be adding another bot later today, just need to think of one.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 17, 2008, 08:49:59 AM
Use wedges (skirts on hinges) if you want some protection against flippers.

But this is a poker (piston bot), and the main issue is if you fire your pistons, they can flip the hammers, and your bot too.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 17, 2008, 11:33:45 AM
Thanks for your advice, everyone!
Next up is Gravity 2, a somewhat decent MW flipper.
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/in3.png)
2 fast npc t64s,
1 small black battery thing & 2 battlepacks (stacked),
2 small JX bursts w/ vladiator spikes,
3mm aluminum.
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/gravin.png)
The thing's VERY fast, and usually when I fire the weapon while driving, it puts me on my back. It's also a good pushybot, so sometimes I just ram them with the spikes.

=============================================
 
This is going to sound a little weird...
Here's a bot my Mom made!
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/typhoonmama.png)
"Typhoon Mama."
It actually does quite well on destructive capabilities, but is a little slow and can't right itself.
2 tmw3r drive,
4 battlepacks and 4 ant packs,
Dual perm gearbox with 150cm shell with 12 ripping teeth,
3mm steel, I think.

Post away!
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 17, 2008, 12:23:24 PM
Hey, your mom's pretty good, LOL!

Tell her she can put a blue control board on this, then swap the ant batts for a battlepack, and then it will weight 799kg.

AAH and 3mm steel is enormous on a shell spinner! I think that 1mm titanium is enough, and with the weight gained she could put several Titanium half-plates on the bot's belly plate.

_____________

For your flipper i think it's slightly underpowered. And it has the drive train of a rammer !

Some empty space behind the NPC fasts.

Post by: Reier on September 17, 2008, 12:36:19 PM
Hey guys, It'll be a while before I can post some more bots, My DSL just crashed, but I've saved all my bots, so i'll just reinstall it. Maybe a day or two.
EDIT:Naryar, is my flipper underpowered because I'm not using strong enough bursts, or because I have too few batteries? ('Cause if it's the bursts, I'm going to have a hard time cramming any more motors in there, unless you have any sugestions, the bot's tiny.)
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 17, 2008, 12:58:54 PM
Not enough batteries... The motors have electricity input in their description "it draws X amps" or "it needs X amps for maximum power", and the batteries have electricity output "it will give 10 amps". Here if i count well, your output is inferior to your input.

In a general rule, total input (sum of all of your motor's input) must be equal at total output (sum of all of your batts input), excepted for the Dual Perm that doesn't needs as much amps as said, but something like 100 amps.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 17, 2008, 01:06:34 PM
Yeah, I knew about the amp ratings already, but I'm almost over the weight limit, where should I put the batts? I Thought about changing the armor to somthing lighter, but then I remembered I only have 3mm Aluminum. (Sorry, I put 3mm titanium on the stats =( ) It actually doesn't flip too bad, I ram more than flip. =J

Post by: Venko on September 17, 2008, 02:01:21 PM
I dont know about the efficacy of your bot "Mutant Dragonfly 2", but is very cool looking too. I like the design/skin part of it. The art of "outside look". I like it.

P.S. : I very rare make such compliments about how some bot "looks", so... It must be "big deal" and true... Plus, im hosting bot design contest ;)
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 18, 2008, 02:25:26 PM
Thanks, Venko! Maybe I'll enter.

Well, I sorta got my DSL running again, so here's a new bot!

The succsesor to Mutant Dragonfly: Radioactive Gnat.
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/radioactivegnat.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_11.png)

2 fast npc t64s (I love those things),
3 battlepacks & 2 small co2 tanks,
Storm piston with 70 kg hammer on the end,
3mm steel & 1 titanium half-plate.

It's pretty fast, I usually just ram them and fire the storm, & it's fairly effective.
I can also use it as a thwack bot, spin up & fire the hammer.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 18, 2008, 03:06:04 PM
Ha! Now it's overpowered!

Two battlepacks are largely enough.

And I don't think you need that much armor...

EDIT: You just made me want to build a DSL poker/rammer hybrid (like this one)
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 18, 2008, 03:49:43 PM
Yeah, it was too heavy for a lightweight, so I cramed a bunch of junk in there I didn't need, just to take up space. :evilsmile: Bwaahahaha...

A bot I built in about 5 min., Endentured Slave:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/endentured.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_13.png)

Fast npc t64 drive AGAIN!,
2 pcdqwhatever orange batts & 2 battlepacks,
Etek with about 13.2 million weapons on the end,
3mm steel or Titanium.

I know it looks a whole lot like Barbie's Onyx II, but I didn't intentionally Model this after that. The thingy on the back is the srimech, if it's flipped, the only other stable position is on it's side, then I fire the bursts and it rights itself. (I mainly designed the bot to see if the srimech would work, and it did.)
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 19, 2008, 05:14:14 AM
*looks at bot, faints, gets up, goes back to the computer and types*

That bot is great, again! Great Idea with the snappers.
Behind the beater bar in the middle of the disk, what is that green thing?
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Condor33 on September 19, 2008, 06:33:07 AM
You should have those things counter-rotating. That's probably not easy to do but if you could it would be RIDICULOUSLY powerful.

You can only if you chain motors. That is, you put a motor on the center of the black disc that is directly attached to the E-tek, but the motor must be MORE powerful than the E-Tek, and then you attach the smaller white disc on the motor added. So, the second motor is sandwiched between the two discs.

Then you wire the Etek to spin in one direction (eg. clockwise) and the other motor to spin in the opposite direction (counterclockwise then).

Normally the disc would be counter-rotating but it's not worthwhile because the two motors oppose and you lose power, and energy, and weight.

And IMO the dual FS (Shebeast) is better than the unique giant FS.

It's cool-looking, but not realistic, either... but it's your choice. Personally I'm usually following the realism rule in DSL now.

(EDIT: Usually because of the stacked batts in the beetle hammer in my showcase)

Post by: H@zm47 on September 19, 2008, 08:44:16 AM
Agree with Naryar.

I'd like to see some shots of it in action, Reier, ES looks awesome. You've gotten the hang of DSL very quickly I don't think I've built a bot that cool in 5 minutes.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 19, 2008, 10:14:26 AM
Sure, I'll get some battleshots in a sec...

Somebody: That's a copal. It has no use whatsoever other than to create this high, whiny noise to annoy anyone I play against. :biggrin:

Post by: Clickbeetle on September 20, 2008, 01:04:41 PM
It looks like a cross between Barbie's Onyx and Warhead.  Warhead has the same self righting system.  You should try to get weight to make the srimech more big and curvy and decorative, like Warhead's wings.  Then you'd really have a cool looking bot.

Post by: Reier on September 30, 2008, 02:00:24 PM
I'm entering a interesting tournament Gigafrost is making an called ELBITE
(you can read the full rules here https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1067 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1067)), where you have to make a robot with interchangeable weapons around a common chassis. (Sounds a bit complicated, but a great idea.) You have to fight a Deathmatch, King of the hill, & a tabletop. Deathmatch & KotH are played normally, but on the tabletop your bot can't have any intentional damaging weaps on it, so you have to send in 2 bots. (pant, pant...)

Anyway, if you understood what I was saying, here is a possible candidate (either this or Radioactive Gnat):
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/t.png)
tabletop robot
10 mm plastic
2 npc t64 fasts
2 battlepacks & 1 ant
mag burst flipper
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/thunder4.png)

Battle robot:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_37.png)
Sort of a lame crusher, I just wanted to have something unique...(maybe I'll change it.)
Post away!
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 30, 2008, 06:41:31 PM
It is unique, but I am not sure that that is the best weapon for a crusher.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on September 30, 2008, 06:49:34 PM
Yeah, I've decided against entering that one. I have till december to design a good one, so no rush. I've also found that the hex plates cause damage. (Duh...me stupid for not looking at stats.)

Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on October 01, 2008, 09:31:47 PM
That's pretty clever, you can easily change a hammer into a flipper.

DSL isn't well suited for ELBITE in my opinion, because a lot of non-weapon components still do a bit of damage.  Gigafrost is probably going to have to settle for "no components intended for use as weapons".
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 01, 2008, 10:49:53 PM
Here's one of my more original entries.
"The Skink"
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/sk2.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_26.png)
6wd fast npc t64s
1 orange & 2 battlepacks
5 vlad spikes or killdozer plow
10 mm aluminum
 
It's pretty fast, unfortunetly if I hit the rear right motor against the wall too hard, it starts smoking and I can't drive straight. It's also a fairly good SnS. If I fight in the Elctric arena 2 or tabletop, I generally take off the spikes & put on a Killdozer plow:

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_27.png)

The reason I take it off in the EA2 is cause the spikes go under the bottom fence rail:

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/pinned.png)

Like so.

Suggestions?
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: infiniteinertia on October 02, 2008, 02:18:40 PM
You could definitely align the NPCS better to save space.

Check Nary's showcast to see what I mean.

Post by: Reier on October 04, 2008, 12:25:58 PM
Well, since MDIII is going to get smoked in RAW, I decided I might as well do a remake.
Presenting Mutant Dragonfly V! (#4 just had a different paint job)
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_49.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/md51.png)

3mm titanium,
1 orange & 3 battlepacks, 2 large & 2 med. co2,
4 you know-what-motors with techno wheels,
1 large piston with 3 70 kg sledges on the end.

It's faster, tougher & has better weapons than the original. most of the extra weight came from taking the wings and side armor off (even though it doesn't look as classy). It's a great project trinity SnS.
Tell me if you like it better than MD3.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Urjak on October 04, 2008, 12:43:25 PM
I love the paint job, and that bot must be VERY fast with those techno wheels.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 04, 2008, 01:16:51 PM
The thing is Warp fast, Urjak. :biggrin:

I threw together a possible candidite for ELBITE:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/electric.png)
 
orange batt,
5mm plastic,
Etek drive (GASP! NOT NPC T64'S!?) with tornado wheels & green caster,
2 60 kg sledges.

Suggestions? (Sorry Inf, I didn't mean to make it a Haymaker clone.)
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 04, 2008, 01:19:15 PM
I think you can remove two battlepacks and add a 20kg one.

You should also put a wedge in the front, because with this setup you have really low ground clearance and it would be wise to take advantage of it.

EDIT:
________________

Second bot has a nice small chassis, but is underpowered with just an orange batt for 2 E-teks, but it's still fast enough. And lacks a wedge.

(It would still rape my deathmatch bot as i see it)
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 04, 2008, 01:28:37 PM
Lyke this?
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/yme2.png)
(It does have a wedge.)
Urjak, this is how powerful it is. one hit.

Geez, isn't that hard to control?
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 04, 2008, 01:36:32 PM
LOL at the rammer thing.

Yeah it's better.

I'm pretty sure you can put this red batt near the one you just moved (perhaps you'll need to move the 20kg forward),, move forward these vertical CO2 tanks, and get a slightly smaller chassis, notably the sides near the NPC-T64's. Then you can add angled skirts to your wedge to make it larger, or/and an upper wedge, for having a wedge if you're upside down too...

Very. I'm going to wire it so that it only uses 2 (or 1) wheels to turn, and use another button to spin faster (for thwacking).
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Somebody on October 04, 2008, 02:42:47 PM
Don't use the green casters, the regular ones weigh way less, and the weight stays the same when it gets bigger.

I just wonder why everybody thinks that they will get killed in RAW.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 04, 2008, 02:53:25 PM
I can't attach the other caster to an extender, so I have to use that one. It's used to keep the hammers from hitting the ground when I'm inverted.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Somebody on October 04, 2008, 02:55:48 PM
You don't have to attach it to an extender, it goes right to your baseplate.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 04, 2008, 02:58:51 PM
Yes, but it needs to face upwards, and the basplate caster can't do that.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 04, 2008, 03:25:11 PM
You can just put an extender or a turtle sheel thing...

Because the bot would tip downwards when its flipped over.

Post by: Reier on October 09, 2008, 01:16:12 PM
Been a while since I posted a bot, so...

Behold- JOHN!

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_58.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_59.png)

2 Astros for drive, & 1 double mag thingy for weapon,
4 ant packs, (I couldn't fit any other types of batts in there),
1 mm titanium armor,
4 spike strips on drum weapon.

Since it's weapon is pretty much just Civil Uprising's with a beefier motor, it's fairly powerful. I can KO most opponents pretty quickly:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/j1.png)

EDIT: Are backlash wheels very grippy? I just used them because I needed a wide base. It's quite unstable.

Bonus: I thought the skin I made for Electric looked sorta cool, so I uploaded it! tell me what you think.

Post by: Naryar on October 09, 2008, 01:54:47 PM
You have about 40% empty space. I bet you can get it under 20% by rebuilding the chassis.

These wedges aren't really efficient.

Otherwise, looks good.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 09, 2008, 02:03:40 PM
The're not really supposed to be wedges, it's just to keep the front from hitting the ground. And yeah, It's got empty space. =/


Here's one of my all time favorites- Zorro.
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_64.png)

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/screenshot_65.png)

2 magmotors on hypno wheels,
1 battlepack & 2 ants,
1mm titanium,
2 vlad spikes on magmotor & titanium skirt.

It's an insanely destructive lightweight and usually KO's most opponents in 1:30 at the most. It's a little unstable, but it can self-right with it's weapon after a while. It can even defeat most Middleweights and even some heavies.

Post by: Naryar on October 09, 2008, 05:54:37 PM
This weapon is too high. And you don't need a drive that fast on a HS, but if you're employing evasive tactics( i.e. getting at you opponent's sides) it's fine.

I don't beat him very often, but I do beat him. And no, Mako didn't hit the hammers in this arena.

Yeah, I know. I AIed it & it doesn't defeat Mako, but it is a good lightweight. I've played it against all other lightweights, and beaten all of them. I can also defeat about 1/2 of the middles and a few heavies. I just made it for fun, that's all.

Remove that! You can always get a normal CB inside.

Otherwise, decent rammer.

Reier, just have a look at all the things in the AI folders, notably the Teams.txt, Bindings.py and else. There's a text pattern in all of them- get how it works and then you can do your own AI pack. But it's loooong work.

Dragonfire: Sure! It might be a while before I can get the teams together, is that okay though?

Nar: Firebeetles pack was the first pack I installed, so I was just trying is out (it was about a year ago), at that time & not showcasing it. The only reason I posted it was because I had a pic already on the internet.

Black batt & ant batt,
6 razors on 2 tribars on 2 magmotors,
Astroflight & rubber wheel drive,
1 mm titanuim (?).

I know it's a little unrealistic how the weapons go through the wheels like that, oh well. :ermm: It is a good bot, though. Very desructive, can kill some middles & a few heavies.

Please comment.

EDIT: Gigafrost, is it alright if I show them my entry for ELBITE? I won't if it's a secret.

Yeah, Shuriken's got a very definite "stock vibe" to it.  It's ALMOST realistic, though, which is saying something.  I think you could do better than 6 razors for weapons--perhaps use DSL bars instead with heavier teeth.

And Zorro looks awesome, though the drive is probably way overkill.  More batteries, lighter wheels would be a nice improvement.

It generally either kills it's opponent, or dies horribly within about 2:00 at the most. It's been AIed and the only time it lasted longer than 3 min was vs. Rage III, when the timer went out. I'm not trying to be defensive here, but for some reason it lasts a longer time than it seems it would.

1mm titanium.

It's so fast, it's scary. It actually drives very straight for having so much power. Speaking of power:

By the way, you should definitely attach each hammer individually. Lighter.

Title: Reier's Showcase

dont use a T connector. use a regular extender and you can get them on seperately and save more weight.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Somebody on November 03, 2008, 05:33:38 AM
I wouldn't have them like that, because if you are off, it might just skim the sides of their bot, bot if you have them like this \/, instead of like this/\, you will have a wider range of attack.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 03, 2008, 05:45:07 AM

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on November 03, 2008, 05:30:54 PM
If you attach the mini-extenders at the very front corners of the bot and attach the hammers directly to them, you'll save even more weight. Perhaps enough to upgrade the hammers. You could also remove that frone red battery and swap it for an ant battery to free up a bit more weight too.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 04, 2008, 12:50:56 AM
Reier: Of course it is good enough. But try R0B0's advice first.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: 70 CUDA on November 04, 2008, 03:33:07 AM
ya i say try it but i think you will find your setup a little better. i only say this because with the hammers angled that way you have a better shot at  a hit and slam in to a wall. if you have them stright the they will roll off you wepons and in to your side a little more often. HOWEVER your setup has a smaller impact area so they both have there down fall. a great job non the less
Title: Reier's Showcase

Your setup can keep a bot mostly contained and push it, causing more damage, the original just glances blows.

R0B0: I tried that before you said it (Unshowcased Taser 1.5), but like Somebody said, the "Top Dog" setup seems to be more effective. If I put them on extenders, it would save weight, but only enough to upgrade one hammer. :ermm: I might put a wedge on it, to increase it'e effecivness.

I say #5 as those hammers have more HP.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 04, 2008, 03:19:37 PM
5! Black hammers are better and look cooler than the football ones.

EDIT: Reier, you should definitely get 4-5 ant batts rather than 2 battlepacks in the n°5, because an ant batt has the same total power as a battlepack, and with 4 Fast NPC's you're going to deplete these two battlepacks VERY fast. Battlepacks have just more output.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on November 04, 2008, 03:47:55 PM
Nar, did you know that the ants output way less power at a time to beat the battle packs? You would need alot more weight to power this with ants only. Even if their max capacity is the same, the ants give less AMPs than the battle packs, and its the AMPs that make the motors work.

Edit:
Battle pack
electotal = 16800
elecmaxinoutrate = 280

Ant batt
electotal = 16800
elecmaxinoutrate = 100

the fist number is how much power the battery has and the other is how much it gives (amp)

Of course I know! But basically, 33600 electotal isn't a lot for 4 Fast NPC's to last.

I had a SnS beetle with two drive magmotors and one battlepack powering them, and that thing depleted it's batteries very fast. Very.

Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on November 04, 2008, 05:06:23 PM
Ok, it may be worrth it to change them, as you get 20 more in out rate(dont know how much that is in amps, but must not be alot since 100=7amps) with 3 ants and 4.5 kgs + triple the max battery power.
Well.. its the builders decission, right?
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 04, 2008, 05:22:33 PM
Or better, the balanced solution. Two ant batts and one battlepack.

Tim 1 did look better IMO, but had some major flaws, (ie. couldn't turn very fast) So I revised it.
Not to brag, but Tim II beat SB's GUMBA entry...=D (SB had better wedges, though.)

Edit: Guys, which do you think I should enter in ELBITE? Taser III or Zapper VI? I can't decide.

Popup all the way. You're not going to go far with a rammer.

LW heavy duty pokers don't need wedges IMO because they have enough attack power to repel the enemy bot. and thus no need for a wedge.

That said, I bet Tim 1 would turn faster if you set turnspeed to insane values like 6 or more. I did that with Match Box and he owns now.

Yeah, it's pretty destrucive. It actually has 4 vlad spikes, incase you can't see. The poly sheets on the front aren't really wedges, as much as a means of extra stability. Without them it flies like a helicopter. (Kind of like Shreddar in BBEANS 3)

They both look good.

I actually equipped Red Scythe with Vlad pokers too (fell in love with them, they're just so cool) and was going to make also a quad-vlad-poker MW HS a little like yours.

Also, 20kg black batts are crap.

On the offchance of a hit there, you could take damage from that tiny bit of chassis sticking throuigh the plow, but that probably won't happen. That bot is really good.

It's really well-built, but the design (short hammer bot) isn't that awesome IMO.

Nar, IK the plow design looks sorta lame, but it actually very effective, & doesn't really hinder it from getting under the other bot. The design will allow me to replace the plow with a Titanium Sheet though, Would that be better?

AGOD (Axle Glitch of Death) was a term first used by me to describe the glitch where an axle will permanently glitch off the motor, usually ruining otherwise great designs. It has been the downfall of many of my bots, so I had to name it.

5mm plastic. I think I overpowered it by accident. }=(
An experimental design I made right before registration closed. I haven't really tested it, so I don't know how well it works...

...Still, 4 70 kg Sledgehammers! >=J
Not quite as fast as MD8, but still very tough from what I can see.

Well, it is well built, but some things could be better:

-I am sure you can use a blue control board here and swap that battlepack for 3 ant batts.
-Also, i doubt about the efficiency of a axle wedge on a bot that fast, plus the two wedges are too far from each other => less wedgy.

Copals with hypnos are better the slimbodies with minis?
What armor should I put on TA? Al 3 is the closest to the weight limit, I checked. Tite 3 is too heavy.

Reier is right. You can easily make the blue CB stick out of the chassis, and most of the time its ugly.

It definetly needs a wedge, but my comp's really glitchy, & whenever I put a wedge on, it AGOD's.
Currently 3 BPs & 6 ants. Like I said, It's not finished.
Probably overpowered, I know.

Well, I guess I can take off the usless beater bars on the wheel guards & use the weight for more ant batts.
Title: Reier's Showcase

I would take off the BBS, and put wedges on that are the angled ones, angled inwards so that the whole front is wedged.

Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on February 13, 2009, 03:15:02 PM
Thing is underpowered. You'd be better with 4 battlepacks. (and maybe one ant for power)

Plus, i discovered side hammers are more damaging with extenders and weapons on them rather than one huge weapons, just like classic hammers.

Still well-built as all of your bots.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Urjak on February 13, 2009, 06:08:32 PM
Nicely build, though as Naryar also said you probably are better off with multiple smaller weapons. Although I do like the look of those spikes. :D Very nice chassis management as well.

An experimental version of the Taser series.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89996TX.PNG)

6 ants, tite 1. Overall I didn't like it as much as the "Taser III" version, because it's not as cool looking IMO and it doesn't really leave room for a wedge.

Comparison for nostalgia:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19534s5.PNG)

BTW, the version of Taser going into Nar's pack will be Taser 3 with the hammers angled a bit.

The next generation, Gravity Reborn.

4 vlad spikes on a mag snapper. Burst wedge, NPC fasts. 1mm tite I think.
Made to be sort of a hybrid rammer-flipper.

I'll test it out tomorrow and get some battleshots.

I'm not really sure about how much damage it can do. If it can't do much, it dosen't appear to be well-armoured enough to be effective.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on February 18, 2009, 02:50:57 AM
130kg worth of weapons on a Mag Snapper has absolutely no flipping abilities and the burst motor won't add significant damage to the same static weapon.

Now has mag drive and perm 80 weapon motor, v.1 had mag drive & mag weapon, v.2 had perm 80 weapon and slimbody drive.

Tite 1, as the others. Seems to have good power, despite only 4 ant batts.
Surprisingly stable.
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Naryar on February 23, 2009, 01:44:45 PM
4 ants is fine for most LWs. (excepted when you use burst motors)

Good bot - though the weapon is really high and I'd definitely put the wheels symmetric...
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on February 23, 2009, 01:52:49 PM
The weapon is as low as it can be and still be realistic, and the wheels actually work best this way; if thy're even, the front is too low to the ground and it flips when I go backward. It also lets me turn faster.
Sorry that I sound too defensive, I'm not.

Post by: philetbabe on February 23, 2009, 01:55:12 PM
i won't go against naryar's advices, they are always relevant .

I'm not trying to go against Nar, I'm sorry I sounded mean. I know he gives good advice.

Switch to the smaller snappers, and give it Steel 1.

Also, anytime that bot backs into a wall, it will damage its drive motors and begin fishtailing. That was one of the major problems I ran into when building Arcarsenal.

LiNcK this is a DISC VERTICAL SPINNER, not a pusher. The big disc on the middle SPINS and the teeth do make damage. Plus quad snowplow design = fail.

You know you can use a BETTER drive motor than a Magmotor for drive on a HW... NPC Fasts are nice, but if you're into rammers you can stick a Techno Destructo wheel on a Drive Etek and enjoy.

IMO flamethrowers are awesome on wedges, when you put them just under the wedge and perpendicular to it. Also a good addition to wammers.

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 31, 2009, 04:11:33 PM
I'd switch to the flat disk panels. It should allow the bot to be more effective when inverted, and also allow all the spikes to hit at once.

You were able to attach those components at that height? or you changed it after building? I bet its the later, I once tried to make the smallest chassis possible, but I accidently made it too low to fit even a Multiextender extra small!

Might add a wedge, IDK. Doesn't really need one too much actually.

No, it's not named after the IRL AW, Combat Ant, it's named after this:

Great idea putting the hammers on the wheels so they spin as well... and technically do increase damage (slightly), plus less extender work.

However you don't need that many ants, i think.

Wow, one of Firebeetle's best MW rammers back in the pre-forum days was called Tofu.

Why is Tofu such a popular bot name?  It makes no sense!  FB was just being random when he named that bot!

You are going to want to get the hammers out farther because a fast bot can sneak under the hammers. With the way that the hammers rotate, wouldn't it also have a tendency to climb wedges?
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 07, 2009, 08:19:26 AM
Tried the hammers farther out, and it wasn't as good because when it got swept up on a wedge, it couldn't get as good a hold on the ground cause they were in the way.

Sometimes it spins "normal speed" (Like Haymaker), and sometimes it spins faster than it should. The axles fly out of the motors like a foot. Not as stable as TOFU/Convoy because less front/back support but still a killer.

Edit: 4 ants and 5mm plastic I think.

BFEing the chassis height is legal IMO, if you take a look at the other AWs in DSL and some other bots too, you will notice that you cant get the chassis that low without BFE.

MW
Looks pretty good.

BFEing the chassis height shouldn't be illegal. You can get it that low anyway, it just takes forever and a half.

1337 point hit = win.

Both bots do look pretty good (AW flamethrower :O) and BFE'ing the chassis height is legal IMO.

So...

Clearly HW FS , with 8 irons on 8 beater bars, NPCF drive and Technos. Weapon motors... i am not sure but it should be 2 Eteks.

And you DO know that halfsheets have only 1500 HP, huh ?

There's also the possibility of you building a bad poker specially for tricking us into thinking it's a FS.

Man, how does he do that....
Correct on drive.
Correct on weapons.
Only halfsheets are on the bottom, that is a 30 x 120 DSL bar.

I think the weapon should be lower for an easier "catch" of enemy components (notably wedges).
Title: Reier's Showcase
Post by: 123savethewhales on November 20, 2009, 03:41:05 PM
I say add a multi extender and a 60cm side panel as top protection.  Since you have 3.6 extra kg sitting around squeezing out another 4.2 kg shouldn't be too difficult.

Although I think the low number of weapons is going to cause you some problems.

You're not the only one dude.  I was very confident in my DSL skills for a while, but ever since my return to school and the release of NAR AI, things started to slowly go downhill for me.  Not to mention that all of my attempts at building creatively have failed. 

The bot actually looks good, though.  How invertible is it?

The ONLY creative thing about a MW popup is the name.
 
I've yelled at you for being a whiny moron once, I'll do it again...
 
STOP COMPLAINING. Other people arn't as creative as you and yet you moan of your lack of standards. Name on person who would think of an "artwork on wheels" (Seriously, WTH is that thing and what should it be called?) like your Splash of the month entry? NO. Just because your bots can't beat a certain bot, does not automatically make it the sh**tiest thing ever to grace the RA2 community.
 
Let me finish with a closing statement:
 
Egomaniacs fail to see their flaws at all. You see flaws in everything you do. Either way, it's not a good thing.

STOP COMPLAINING.  How was I complaining, and how was what I said "emo"?  I'm just in the same boat as Reier, and apparently, R0B0.

Other people arn't as creative as you and yet you moan of your lack of standards. Name on person who would think of an "artwork on wheels" (Seriously, WTH is that thing and what should it be called?) like your Splash of the month entry? NO.  I'm not striving to be the most creative person on the forums.  I just want to build slightly more creatively than I do now, like Nary has said.

Just because your bots can't beat a certain bot, does not automatically make it the sh**tiest thing ever to grace the RA2 community.  I know that, but I'm always trying to improve my bots.  If it performs well, but still has a small flaw, that's okay because I know it performs well.  Can't win em all.
 
Egomaniacs fail to see their flaws at all. You see flaws in everything you do. Either way, it's not a good thing.  Can you name at least five things that are perfect, absolutely flawless?  No?  Well that's because everything in the universe has it's flaws, big or small.
 
P.S: For the lulz: Losing creativity because of the NAR AI? Nary, your evil plan is working, MUA HA HA HA HA HA HAAH!  Not exactly.  Like I said before, I'm not striving to be extremely creative, just to balance out my building style.  On the other hand, I've seen some designs in NAR AI that I could have thought of, but didn't.

More stable. 1mm tite and 4 ants because with any less it spins kinda slow. With 4 it spins insanely fast. Faster than Haymaker. I might have to rebuild it because it's not a perfect cube but JB can answer that.

This little VS might be my favorite LW at the moment because: 1. It's a VS and I stink but this one's good, 2. It's just cool.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12854[S]Cargosplash.png)

1mm tite and 3 ants BTW. It's going in Wheely Tag Tourney with Urjak's Le Crab. (Le Crab and S Cargo? :P)
Cargo is a zippy VS with mag drive, he can get in and KO quickly most of the time. The weapon motor might not be too powerful but the drive makes up for it.

You guys like?


Note: the reason I've been calling it S Cargo instead of
Code: [Select]
[S] Cargo is cause it does the stikethrough thing if I type it like it's spelled.

STORM FRONT, the successor to Tofu - considerably more powerful. 6 ants and 5mm Plastic. I had to axle load the hammers on obviously. Has a halfsheet and 2 tite 40 angled skirts on the bottom.
Thing makes a heck of a scary noise when it spins.

Fun fact:  the E-tek sound effect was recorded from Defy Ant's weapon spinning.  So it's natural for it to sound scary  :mrgreen:

I have to say, I really like this bot, despite its overall crapness. Nice work, I think.
 
EDIT: Oh, you posted another bot while I was typing. Oh well. You could try some skirting on the front of the flipper segments to keep opponents away from the chassis.
Title: Re: Reier's DSL Showcase of DSL-ness
Post by: MassimoV on January 29, 2011, 07:47:02 PM

Title: Re: Reier's DSL Showcase of DSL-ness
Post by: Clickbeetle on January 29, 2011, 11:34:46 PM
Did you try a 40cm angled skirt attached to the flipper segment just to the left of the Perm?  I think that would work.


Or put the Perm on the TOP attach point of the multiextender with the belt going straight out horizontally, so it won't get hit as easily, and then put some armor piece in the front of the bot to protect the chassis.

Wouldn't want to do that since having the NPCs stick out the back makes them easy to hit.

Sledges break too easy. So I improvised.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90058SF2.png)

Same stats as the last (uhh...I think, might have less armor), except only a tite halfsheet on the bottom, and of course the new pwn-tastic weapons. Oh yeah it busted FnF's plows off too.

Also it's weird because on the first few matches, the axles fly out and it spins like time-travel fast. But after that, it just spins... moderately fast. I dunno. That aside, it's nasssssty. It wins most matches, but can get outweaponed by Ounce's trapper gazillion razor thing for instance.

Anyway, I can't decide on these two weapon systems.

FAIL WALKERS

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58045walkerfailz.png)

Left was a Pr0totype for Badnik's walker division of his tourney. It didn't work, bumbled everywhere and lame stuff like that. Also looked stupid.
Right is apparently Pepsibot having a seizure from lack of a head.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21691pr0.png)

DUAL PERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRM

3mm Plastic I think. Took a note from Whyachi and used the weight to cheat get a beefy weapon from the +200KGs. The 200KGs HAD to be used for drive, but that still freed me up like 60 KG to use on the weapon. Doesn't drive all that bad, it spazzes around a lot but never really bumbles or havoks or anything. Usually stays upright, but if it doesn't it can selfright.
It's a given that it goes about 1 MPH max.

If Badnik thinks the drive system is too shufflebot-ey (IMO it isn't) I can make a new one but that'd make me cry myself to sleep tonight.

the shells really aren't meant to be too durable, side ones are there just for a few extra HP on the wheels, ones on hammers are just to raise the weapon off the ground. If those get taken off it's not too big of a deal

omg panic attack skirts in a V who could have built it?????
weapon is too few hp but now i know

im sure you've never seen one of these PLOT TWIST THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL (more or less) enfilated23e33 doesnt count r0b0
doesn't fishtail if it hits a wall and self rights decently unlike zapper ∞-1s (except v. VIII (?))

playin it pretty safe for these two until i get a feel for this again
I'm really not sure how much building has evolved, but those two would have been fairly dangerous back in 2010 or whatever. Zappers just crushed everything when they came out but I'm sure there's plenty of clones and counters to this type now. i think ounce had one just a month or two after mine if i remember right
Any advice/info on how well these would hold up vs current bots? i also have no idea what the current wedge/battery fads are either
and yeah yeah i know cheetos motor isnt realistic who cares i could fix it any time
i never really built irl stuff either im too ingrained in my 2008 ways
i honestly think i might re-try stock again i bet i could make something killer i even remember all the glitches

btw i gave this game to some of my college bros and we're playin it on LAN and its lag free :o

I'm not really a DSL S expert, but those look very good to me.
One thing that's changed fairly recently was that 123STW discovered that using a skirt hinge with only the middle attachment point can give better wedges than a metal hinge, so you could get some more weight on the popup that way, although not sure what you'd do with it. Chassis wedge maybe?

DSL-S doesn't get a lot of activity these days Reier, bit of a shame really, but it was mainly down to popups, sns and flail rams becoming so refined there was no point building anything else.
Try out Ironforge, it's pretty new so there's not AS much of a meta there yet.

DSL S is DSL Standard, so DSL like you have been building, robots based on efficiency, destruction and getting fast KOs. It's called DSL S to distinguish it from DSL IRL building, which is aimed at making a robot that looks and works like a real life robot.

In other words: Standard and IRL are general building styles, while DSL2 is the mod.

The popup's chassis can be reduced in size. Due to wacky hitboxes, Left and Right NPC's, as well as their fast variations, can be placed in a way that the main body of the motor juts out from the rear of the chassis. Be warned, though, NPC's can barely survive one hit, but bots do not aim for the rear of the chassis. Most, if not all bots with NPC's take advantage of this trick (see: Cutting Wedge IV). This does not apply to DSL3, however, which is a completely separate modification altogether. The same can be done to the VS.

Regarding the VS' weapon, LDS teeth on beaters is standard because it works. Make sure that the teeth are as close to the ground as possible at their lowest position as this allows for the VS to lift other bots with more ease.
Title: Re: Reier's DSL Showcase of DSL-ness
Post by: martymidget on November 08, 2014, 05:01:01 PM
The VS is probably below average nowadays, while the popup's averageness will depend on the wedge.

VS:

- Supports are too flimsy. DSL bars would be ideal for this instead of flipper segments. A combination of the two could also work. Whatever floats your boat really.

- Amount of weapons depends on what you're aiming for. If you're going for a speedy gutripper you could go for NPC-F + hypnos, and for weapons razors over the teeth would work wonders. If a slower, longer lasting beast is what you want you can go NPC + Vlads and up the weapon weight a bit (heavier beaters would work well). Of course this depends on the setup you have.

Popup:

- I'd suggest concentrating the weapons in the same way you do in stock with eFFe, and switching the positions of the batteries and bursts so that the weapons are closer together, Seism 13 style.

Otherwise they aren't bad. Just mess around until you're happy with the result.
